RAZOR-GUARD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. Nov. 19, 1907.

Application filed April-1907. Serial No. 371.115-

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, GERIIARD TITTMANN, a citizen of Germany, and resident of Foche, near Solingen, Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Razor-Guards, of which th'efollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to a razor uard which is reversibly secured to the blac e, so that one and the same side of the guard may be madetofiface either side of the blade.

In the accom anying drawing: Figure 1 is a side view o a razor provided with my improved guard; Fig. 2 a cross section on line A-.B, Fig. 1; Fi s. 3 and 4 .are plans, showing the parts in difi'erent positions, and Figs. 5 and 6 are side views of modifications.

A resilient clamp a, U-shaped in cross section, isadapted to straddle the back of blade m. V A headed pin 1), at the forwand end of the clamp, engages a loiwitudinal slot s, formed in a bent guard holder 11,. This holder is of angular shape in cross section (Fig. 2), its upper part projecting over clamp a,,wh1le its lower part extends some distance down along blade m. To this lower part the guard u, is adjustably securedby screws 1', engagin slits i. nally slida le o'ii clamp a, and ma be drawn out and reversed after being (rawn out.

In. this way the holder may be so swung Holder a, is longitudiagainst blade m, that its inner face may be brought against either of the two faces oi the blade. After being properly adjusted, the holder is locked in position by a binding screw t, at the rear end of clamp a. In Fig. 5, screw t, is replaced by a catch 0. 1f desired, one of the parts a, u, may be provided with a guidespindle e, engaging a pivoted ringd, on the other part, (Fig- 6).

Having thus described my invention what I claim and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A razor, a clamp enga ing the same, a uard holder slidable upon the clamp, means or rotatably securing the guard holder at one end of the clamp, and means for locking the guard holder against either side of the razor,- substantially as specified.

2. A razor, a clam engaging the same, a pin near one end oi." the clamp, a slotted guard-holder engaging the pin and rotatable on the same, an means for locking the guard-holder against either side of the razor, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at Dusseldorf, Germany this tenth day of April 1907.
